Technical File: Highlighting and Contouring

Highlighting and Contouring

In this session we focused on contouring, highlighting and blusher.  We started off doing the foundation like we did in the previous session. We then started with the highlighter adding more in stages along the cheekbones, sides of the face and under the eyebrows. I used the highlighter from the Illamasqua Sculpting Powder Duo as I felt this shade worked better with my partner’s skin tone as she had tanned skin. Then I moved onto doing the contouring by building up darker coloured powder under the cheekbones to help create shadow.  I used a smaller brush to apply it and then blended it in with a powder brush. Then I picked two of the red/pink colours from the blusher palette and applied it onto the cheeks and along the cheekbone.





 I personally preferred doing the highlighter the most out of all three because I find it a lot easier to work with and struggle a bit with the contouring and blush. This is definitely something that I would like to work on.
